Aldous Huxley
Crome Yellow a Novel
(Harper and Brothers Jan. 1, 1922)
From the front flap of this 307 page book: "Aldous Huxley's distinguished career in English letters can be said to date from the publication of his first novel, 'Crome Yellow' in 1921. Alexander Henderson says of it: 'In 'Crome Yellow' Huxley showed himself completely master of his assimilations, a mature novelist. The book is worth examining closely for its technique, its ideas and its acuteness of psychological description. It is a light book, a gay one. But although easy to read, we shall be mistaken in taking it too easily. Huxley's other novels have more matter in them, a wider range, a greater complexity of pattern, but none has excelled his first in grace, in Mozartian lightness of touch. Real and yet somehow unreal, somehow a fairy-story, a bucolic idyll, 'Crome Yellow' haunts the memory like a sunlit wall of peaches seen in childhood, rich with the nostalgic memories of bygone summers. Like the opulent colour of its title, 'Crome Yellow' is all of cream and gold.'"
